Description:
------------
THIS IS A DOCUMENTATION BUG !

when its set for the following /home/www/netsh128/

and I have a file /home/www/netsh128/bits/neu/file.php which includes a file in /home/www/netsh128/bits/file2.php
 
eg include '../file2.php';

I get loads of warnings a open_basedir restrictions !

If I change my include to 
include '/home/www/netsh128/bits/file2.php'; 

then no problems - this took a lot searching to find out !!!
It is not well documented !

Hope it helps someone !

to do with open_basedir

You probably don't know where to find it.

But its documented.

Okay but that's exactly my point - why sould I have to know where to find it ?
Why is it not documented by open_basedir ??
That is my point - not that if I search for ages I can find it !

nicos, maybe you can supply a link ? It will be great for John
 [2003-08-01 03:25 UTC] goba@php.net 
And would be great for us too, so we can see that is is really explained :)

Opening again. Try to give a *good* reason when marking a bug bogus.

Here:
http://www.php.net/features.safe-mode#ini.open-basedir

It's not the documentations teams fault that the manual search isn't "working so well" these days, a problem that is well known.  Status->bogus.

As far as I see, the original report says, that a file *below* the open_basedir cannot be included, just because the guy used ../filename.php to include the file. Is this exlpained on the link you have sent? I cannot see it...
 [2003-08-01 12:27 UTC] philip@php.net 
I attempted, and cannot duplicate this problem.  ../ works fine for me (testing PHP 4.3.3) so if this was a bug, it was fixed at somepoint.
